Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. No doubt he will recall the recent Public Accounts Committee report, which highlighted stark failings in the child poverty strategy. What steps is he taking to ensure that the same failings, such as its not being fully costed or sufficiently targeted and not properly working with all stakeholders, are not repeated?
